Vacation: Day 6: Lynden and Plover Ferry

these first four pics are some of the pics from the museum that we visited, but somehow i forgot them and they are out of order. The pictures don't do the place justice.. it was a very good museum... Anyway on to the rest of the post.......

Well we started the day off by going to a little town nearby called Lynden. This was by chance that we decided to go there and i was glad we did. I saw a post card the day before in the lobby about Lynden. It looked like such a cute little quaint dutch town that i wanted to go there. It was only about 15 miles from where we were staying. We went there and it was very cute. We loved the mural in town and all the windmills. There was a cute little "mall" there with some cute photo ops. Then we went to the bakery shop and had some huge doughnuts! Yum! Then we checked out the museum and it was a very nice museum that didn't cost us all we had. And this museum seemed to go on and on with more rooms and undiscovered areas! It was worth the money we paid. They even had a little book that each child got and could put an ink stamp of a picture at the various places they saw in the museum! The kids loved it!

After lunch we went to the local marina to ride the historic little plover ferry. It can hold 17 people plus the two crew. It was a fun experience. The captain let all the kids who wanted to have a turn at driving the ferry! They all loved it! The ferry dropped us off and was scheduled to come back in an hour. So we walked around and took some pics by an old boat. Then we walked around the little beach and the girls picked up shells. Then we caught our ride back and saw the sea lions sunning on the docks.
